From timesheet
to spreadsheet.
Two sets of hours are ready to check. One is missing a finish time, so we flag it instead of guessing.

Check, approve, then use
Firstline Desk prepares every row and checks it against the source sheet. W-112 has no finish time for Friday, so its hours stay blank and the row is flagged — we never guess. A draft question could say: “Please confirm the Friday finish time for W-112.” Your team resolves that, then approves the figures. Nothing reaches payroll until a person has approved it.

| W-108 | sheet-002.pdf | 40.0 | Approved |
W-112 is held back until your team confirms Friday’s finish time. It is never exported or used as approved.
